How can our energy supply be made efficient, climate-friendly and economically sensible? In this context, Offenburg University of Applied Sciences has investigated the use of adsorption chillers from FAHRENHEIT in the Laboratory for Energy Network Systems. The results of the extensive measurement campaign have now been published in a special edition of the engineering newspaper HLH.

This publication confirms the great potential of our machines for use in process and air-conditioning cooling: In addition to the high electrical efficiency when operating with pure waste heat, the energy network with a CHP unit as a combined heat, power and cooling system also showed convincing advantages. With grid-compatible operation, both energy efficiency was increased and operating costs were reduced.

As of October 1st, FAHRENHEIT is a member of the “Wärmewende durch Geothermie” initiative, in English: The “heat recovery through geothermal energy” initiative. The initiative works to promote using geothermal energy, the fastest possible solution for supplying urban regions with CO2-neutral heat.

Many of FAHRENHEIT’s installations occur in combination with local or district heating networks. When they are combined with geothermal energy, it is particularly advantageous for the environment. Geothermal energy decarbonizes existing heating networks and reduces energy imports.

Two examples:

In 2015, FAHRENHEIT set up DJE Kapital AG’s head office with a highly efficient adsorption cooling system on behalf of IEP Pullach, the geothermal energy provider in Pullach. The realizable environmental benefits as well as the easily calculable cooling costs, without capital commitment or maintenance costs, were a major selling point. In 2019/2020, DJE Kapital AG expanded their headquarters and a newer version of FAHRENHEIT’s adsorption technology was selected for the new building.

In 2014, FAHRENHEIT worked with the Bavarian geothermal plant operator Geovol to install a FAHRENHEIT adsorption refrigeration plant at their new energy centre. This refrigeration plant operated with district heating of approximately 90°C. With FAHRENHEIT’s adsorption refrigeration technology, Geovol reduced electrical energy consumption by around 31 MWh/y and, according to projections, also reduced CO2 emissions by around 12 tonnes per year.

We are very excited to welcome Timo Wäsche back to the Fahrenheit team!

Timo served as our Key Account Manager for Northern and Western Germany from 2014 until 2016. We are delighted to have him back as our Sales Manager and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration.

Timo has a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering Management from the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences. His practical experience as a trained system mechanic for sanitary, heating and air conditioning technology and Category 1 Major Refrigeration Certificate make him the perfect, qualified point of contact for his customers.

When asked about why he’s passionate about adsorption cooling, Timo explained that “cooling is necessary, you can’t shake it, but adsorption cooling is sustainable, protects the environment, and is often the more economical option”. He would like to leave a cleaner planet behind for his children so sustainability and “green energy” are close to his heart. As a committed salesperson, he also appreciates the growth potential in the market.

Timo gets his energy from his family and friends. He loves spending time outdoors and re-discovering the world with his kids. Norway is one of his favourite travel destinations: peace and quiet, nature, fresh self-caught fish, a glass of Riesling and a view of the fjord: that’s how Timo recharges!
